If the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry process has recently started causing very high disk or high CPU usage on your Windows 10 system, it could be very frustrating. But there’s no need to panic – it’s usually easy to fix. You’ll learn 3 easy methods to troubleshoot the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry high disk or high CPU problem.

NOTE: If you can’t find Allow Telemetry, create it manually: Right-click on DataCollection and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Then name the new value Allow Telemetry.

6) Set Value date to 0 (zero) and click OK.

7) On your keyboard, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys (at the same time) to open your Task Manager, check to see if Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry takes up a normal disk usage.

Method 3: Update your device drivers

If, after trying the above, the issue still exists or your PC is still running slow, it’s time to update your device drivers.

There are two ways you can get the right drivers for all your devices: manually or automatically.

Manual driver update – You can update your drivers manually by going to the manufacturer’s website for your devices, and searching for the most recent correct driver for each. Be sure to choose only drivers that are compatible with your variant of Windows 10.

Automatic driver update – If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your drivers manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for your devices, and your variant of Windows 10, and it will download and install them correctly:

2) Run Driver Easy and click theScan Nowbutton. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

3)Click the Update button next toany flagged driver to automatically download the correct version of that driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).

Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)

4) Reboot your Windows 10 PC.

5) On your keyboard, press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys (at the same time) to open your Task Manager, check to see if Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry takes up a normal disk usage.

When it’s done, Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64, and copy the followings: folders: GroupPolicy GroupPolicyUsersgpedit.msc(console document)3.
